When it comes to rugged good looks and excellent performance, there are few cars that can beat the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE. This is an SUV that offers unrivaled ride quality in complete luxury. Despite the excellent styling, the 2020 GLE is also superbly functional and comes with generous trunk space.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee builds on its legacy of ruggedness and reliability. While the 2020 Grand Cherokee will get you anywhere you want to go, some of the lower trims are markedly uncomfortable. Standard tech features are sparse unless you go for the pricier models. Here is how these two SUVs compare against each other.
Design & Styles
When it comes to styling, the 2020 GLE leads by a wide stretch. Its curved front section and aggressive stance make this SUV a head-turner anywhere you go. The interior is also amazingly done with soft upholstery and ergonomic design. Space for passengers and cargo is ample making the 2020 GLE a very practical ride as well.
With a leaning towards ruggedness and functionality, the 2020 Grand Cherokee has seen very little change in its basic design. The car designers opted to keep the boxy shape which though attractive, appears a bit dated when compared to other SUVs in its category. The interior is also a little spartan and many of the features that come as standard in other models are options here.
Technology & Safety
As one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz SUV, the 2020 GLE comes with a broad variety of tech even in the base model. These tech features include a 12.5-inch infotainment control display that accepts both voice commands as well as touch input. The 2020 GLE also offers smartphone integration among many other features.
When it comes to the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, buyers can expect a 5-inch infotainment screen that is operated through Jeep’s Uconnect software. While reasonably responsive, this tiny display is unlikely to satisfy many buyers in the luxury SUV market. Better tech options are available but you have to pay more to get them.
Performance
The 2020 GLE comes with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that generates about 255 horsepower. The 2020 GLE handles superbly and offers an excellent ride quality. Body roll is limited and the cabin is quiet even at high revs. Given the 2020 GLE is designed to go off-road, it has an excellent suspension that ensures that most surface imperfections never make it into the cabin.
When it comes to the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, buyers get a range of engine options to choose from. The base model comes with a V6 engine that ensures that the 2020 Grand Cherokee has excellent driving and towing power. Ride quality however is not good at all especially because the suspension does not go a good job of keeping road imperfections out of the cabin.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee have a lot to offer. They both are excellent off-roaders with good engine performance. However, the 2020 GLE edges out the Grand Cherokee when it comes to sheer ride quality, tech features and styling. This makes the 2020 GLE the clear winner when compared to the 2020 Grand Cherokee.
